503 server error
I got a streak of 503 server errors. The requests right before and after this streak were normal 200 requests. Was there a hosting issue/downtime? This happened on May 21, 2023

It's much more likely a code issue than a Railway issue. There are many reasons why your snake could've errored at the beginning of a match. Your code might not handle multiple games well, it might've been using all its processing on another game, or it could've just been hanging

Are you still having this issue?
Have not check recently (found this on battlesnake, lost a game because of it)
My site will be online tonight, and I will check again
Also, please ping on reply
Or I might miss this
Battlesnake’s 503 errors don’t tell you much. Just means your server didn’t respond in time. Very likely a code issue as Railway didn’t have any downtime for existing deployments on the 21st
next time before posting a help post, look at the logs of your snake. Those will likely tell you everything you need to know
you can look at the logs of your bots old deployments on the deployments tab. If you’re interested in what happened, find the logs at the timestamp of when your snake didn’t respond.
99.9% of the time the issue won’t be on Railway’s side. Railway is pretty stable
My snake is not the best designed, and does not log out timestamps. I remember checking the game tho and nothing went wrong server side
Railway logs timestamps
Just tick the show timestamps button
@not logged in
ok
but battlesnake does not
But you could check your logs on the 21st for any errors that may have happened
No logs found containing May 21
Each deployment has different logs
Try looking in a different deployment
ik, but does the search feature search timestamps?
no clue
ctrl f exists though
I will have to click "load more" so many times tho
(My battlesnake logs the game board every move)
